"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities."

~Elder Holland, Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Happy 2-week Birthday Catherine!

Our sweet little girl is two weeks old today! She is usually calm and happy, she doesn't cry much. She loves to be held, especially with her tummy against your shoulder. She also loves to sleep and has been able to sleep 5 hours during the night since birth! (Mommy really likes that!) She eats like she's starved every time, it's pretty funny how fast she drinks her milk. She can down 2 oz in just a minute or two. She has already gained back her birth weight, plus more. When the Dr. weighed her today she was a little over 9 lbs. He said she is growing like a weed and is doing very well. I've included a few more pictures and hopefully Daddy can make another video clip with her tonight. Happy 2 week Birthday Catherine, we love you!

A few new pictures...



Here are a few more pictures of Catherine. I am still figuring out how to get the pictures off of the digital camera. These pictures are from our computer's web cam. Enjoy!

p.s. Her head is not nearly that pointy in real life, haha.  I am not sure why the camera angle makes it look that way.
